Digits half-missing.
Eights read as sixes, the trip looks like code. Individual segment lines have dropped off the glass. The stored numbers are fine; the display of them isn't.
ProgressiveThe Sevenoaks visit
New glass.
Nothing else changes.
Sevenoaks sits well inside our mobile patch — we run in via the M25 at junction 5 and cover every TN13, TN14 and TN15 address. The 500 is everywhere in Kent, which means so is this fault: the segment LCD between the dials cooking itself to death over years of dashboard heat.
We don't exchange units and we never post anything. Your cluster stays with your car: we open it, remove the dead glass, fit the replacement screen and rebuild it on the spot. Because the board — and the odometer memory on it — never changes, the car treats the cluster as what it is: the same one it left the factory with.
Compare the franchise route: a complete replacement cluster has to be ordered, the car booked in, and the new unit proxi-aligned — drivers regularly report the whole cycle running into weeks. Ours runs into an afternoon in Sevenoaks, and the quote you get by reg before we travel is the figure you pay.
Screen work is one lane of what the van carries — cluster repair for all makes, diagnostics and component coding ride along on every Sevenoaks visit.
